“We’re all at different places on the journey…
Sometimes the waka slows down but it’s still moving, and sometimes
the waka has trouble getting off the shoreline…
but that’s OK because it is moving and it’s moving in the right direction.”
Dr Ruth Gorinski

Mā te rongo, ka mōhio; Mā te mōhio, ka mārama; Mā te mārama,
ka mātau; Mā te mātau, ka ora.
Through resonance comes cognisance; through cognisance comes understanding;

Through understanding comes knowledge; through knowledge comes life and well-being.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people! It is people! It is people!

“Ma pango ma whero ka oti te mahi”
Many hands make light work.

Whāia te iti kahurangi
Ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei
Pursue excellence – should you stumble
Let it be a lofty mountain.

Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua
My past is my present is my future
I walk backwards into the future
with my eyes fixed on my past

Nau te rourou, naku te rourou
Ka ora ai te iwi
With your contribution
and mine we will be
better off.

Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou
ka ora ai te iwi

With your food basket and my food basket
the people will thrive
